Suh is double teamed every snap he plays. That leaves KVB, Fairley and Avril (the most overlooked DE in the NFL) free to do as they please. I am a homer but there is not a offensive coordinator in the league that isn’t going to worry about seeing Detroit this season.

Fri, 29 Jul 2011 18:30:31 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=143138#comment-1157002Fairley is a college football player who now has to perform at the highest level of his profession …… Surely you don’t want me to list all the 1st round flops that exist yearly coming out of the draft ……
1st round & potential does not = success …..

This is the problem with all the optimism in Lion country …… Most of it is based on ‘hope’ …. The reality may look totally different …….

Example ….. One doesn’t ‘hope’ CM3 will play well ….. PackFans know CM3 will play well …… Lion Fans need to get a clue ………

Suh already produced – proven – top D lineman.
Fairley just makes it better, and they can’t double team both.

Lions offense…even without Stafford was good. Young and Leshoure will produce immediately.

Both sides of the ball will bring it. Sit back and enjoy.

The sad reality is that most of this optimism is based on the ‘potential’ of alot of unproven young players ….. From my vantage point, the Lions have Johnson & a ‘boy named Suh’ …… Everyone else is still a huge question mark ……. The Lions will need 2 or 3 more ‘good drafts’ & some luck before being considered a bonified threat ……. 7-9 (maybe 8-8) in 2011 is realistic …..

Silver Crush Defense…..alive and coming to a stadium near you.
